The good: Great lens; nice design; lots of manual controls.
The bad: Generally soft photos; mediocre movies; no optical viewfinder; expensive.
The bottom line: A good choice for an enthusiast looking for a powerful camera that can fit into a jacket pocket; however, the Leica D-Lux 3 has a price only a Leica aficionado could love.

The good: Good build quality; top LCD screen to display settings; in-camera editing functions; intuitive user interface; multiple exposure mode; supports SD high-capacity memory cards; snappy performance; good image quality with noise showing up at only ISO 1,600 and beyond.

The bad: Slower top shutter and flash-sync speed compared with D70s; bundled software does only basic RAW conversion; slight barrel distortion at the wide end of kit lens.

The bottom line: The Nikon D80 hits the sweet spot between the entry-level and midrange dSLR market and will appeal to photographers looking for an all-rounder with a range of useful features.

There is no doubt that the EOS 20D is a great camera. The improved responsiveness over the 10D is welcomed. However, if you don't require the 5fps continuous shooting rate nor do a lot of low-light shooting there's really no need to upgrade from the 10D or even abandon your Nikon glasses. The Nikon D70 is just as responsive--although you do have to go through menus to get to change some shooting functions like AF modes. The higher 8-megapixel rating shouldn't be a big consideration as it's only a 17 percent increase in both horizontal and vertical resolution--not the 33 percent increase that the raw megapixel figures suggest.
